fireplace mantle cover?

4 years ago

does anyone know of a type of mantle that can fit over an existing mantle or just ledge? Looking to fit it on top of this fireplace that has like an inch thick of stone. I don’t want to tear it down just to put a mantle in so it looks nicer. (This color is a work in progress btw. Getting a more subdued white)

You might be able to create a wood casing to mimic a thick wood mantel...

Yea I am thinking more of a wood casing so I don’t have to destroy the existing stone “mantle” now. I think it would look odd to just place a beam on top of the stone, but I honestly don’t know.

Hire a carpenter he/she can figure it out to spec.

Hang it just as a all wood mantle would be on T-hangers
